How often do you need a dental cleaning? (It's not the same for everyone)

Should you come in more often? Yes, if…
- Your gums get inflamed or bleed
- You build up tartar easily
- You smoke
- You have diabetes or another condition that affects your gums
What happens when you wait too long
Tartar doesn't come off with a toothbrush. It hardens, inflames your gums and turns small problems into big treatments.
Do your gums bleed when you brush? It's sign #1 that you need a cleaning NOW — bleeding means inflammation that a checkup keeps under control.
